In the first episode of our Trunks N Wheels series on Folk Dances of India, we take a trip to our magnificent South India and travel across boundaries starting from Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. In Karnataka, the language spoken is Kannada and the people are referred to as Kannada people or Kannadigas. The folk dance that we pick up to describe for our listeners is Kunitha, a ritualistic dance form especially performed by men. Kerela is rightly known for its tea and coffee plantation. Their folk dance is primarily Kathakali but we talk about the Padayani dance form which is usually performed in the Bhadrakali temples from mid-December to mid-May. In Padayani dance form, only one instrument is played throughout. Tamil Nadu has a maximum number of folk dances available as it’s musically a very rich state. Their most considered folk dance form is Mayilattam, mostly performed by women dressed as a peacock to worship Lord Murugan or Kartikeya. Andhra Pradesh is known for its farming folk dance Dhimsa which, in the earlier days, was exclusively performed by women  but now both the genders take part in it. The dance form is the official dance form of Vishakapatnam in Andhra Pradesh. The instruments played while dancing this particular form is Dappu, Mori, Tudumu, etc. Telangana is rich in its art & crafts and dance. The folk dance of our last stop Telengana is Lambadi, performed by females of a nomadic tribe. They dance to the music of the drums played by males. The drive behind this dance is to celebrate the harvest season. Enjoy all this information in podcast format now. www.chimesradio.com FB: https://www.facebook.com/chimesradio/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vrchimesradio/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChimesRadio

“Trunks N Wheels” is Chimes Radio’s unique offering focussed on introducing the various cultural elements of India to our young listeners. And we achieve this by hopping on to a journey that takes us across different States and Union territories of our vast and culturally rich country. We introduce our audience from an early age to nuances of living in a diverse country like India and start to appreciate that while we all come from different regions and enjoy our own heritage, we are all united by a common thread of being Indian and must respect each other’s traditions, beliefs and lifestyles to live in harmony.

The highest result of education is tolerance - Helen Keller

In each series, we pick up a specific theme e.g. folk dances, regional foods, famous personalities etc. and talk about a region of India.  
•	North India - We cover the states of Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand.  
•	South India – We talk about the states of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhara Pradesh and Telangana.
•	East India – We travel through the states of Odisha, Bihar, Jharkhand, Chattisgarh and West Bengal.
•	West India – We cross the boundaries of the states of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa and Madhya Pradesh.
•	North Eastern Indian – We drive through the scenic states of Sikkim, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Tripura, Arunachal Pradesh and Assam.
•	Union Territories -  We visit the special status UTs of India like Dadar & Nagar Haveli, Puducherry, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Lakshwadeep, followed by the newly formed UTs of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh.

Each episode will give you a sneak peek into a specific cultural element of one of these regions which we hope will tickle your curiosity to find out more and in depth about your area of interest or maybe plan a visit to see these in reality.

All podcasts can be enjoyed on the Free Chimes Radio mobile apps – available on Google and Apple App stores.
